Bathur is not just an orphan, she s #OurChild

Transcription

1 Bathur is not just an orphan, she s #OurChild Every orphan child deserves the loving care we would give our own children. With your help we can provide this care together. OrphansInNeed.org

2 An orphan is easy to ignore when it s not #OurChild We see every orphan as #OurChild, children who deserve the same loving care we give to our own. With our commitment to this care we are using the #OurChild campaign to highlight the plight of destitute orphans around the world, so that you can also help give these children a chance. 2

3 The reality is that orphan children with no support are left exposed to the potential for abuse. We have seen this first hand and we yearn for change. We want every vulnerable orphan to receive the protection and best care that we can provide for them. This includes: We need your help to do what is needed, for each and every orphan we come into contact with. Adequate nutrition Secure shelter Clothing and medical care Clean drinking water and access to sanitation A good education Loving care and guidance in a family orientated-home or orphanage

4 Meet Bathur She was only 2 years old when her father was murdered. Her mother disappeared, leaving Bathur all alone with her grandparents. Her grandmother has been sick for a year now, and her grandfather s income is too low for the three of them to survive, so Bathur has to go to work to help them make a living. She is 7 years old and lives in Gujarat, Pakistan. Every morning she wakes up at dawn, helps her grandmother with the laundry, eats a meagre breakfast and then walks 5km to work. Like many other children in the region, Bathur works in a brick factory. Once a week she goes to visit her father s grave. She knows his dream was for his daughter to have an education and a good life, and Bathur prays for it to happen some day. With no help and support, there is little chance for her to ever realise that dream. Explore more of Bathur s story at OrphansInNeed.org

6 This is Ousmane. Ousmane has to spend his days looking for scrap metal in the main dump of Banjul. The conditions there are terribly unhealthy, due to the thick and poisonous smoke emitted all day by the burning piles of rubbish. 6

7 He is at high risk of diseases due to the pieces of glass and hard plastic he sometimes cuts himself on. He is 8 years old and lives in Banjul, Gambia. Both Ousmane s parents passed away, and he was left to his widowed aunt. She already has children, and she counts on Ousmane to bring money for food, water and clothing. Going to school is out of the question for Ousmane, and he sees no way out of his situation where his childhood is spent sifting through litter. He dreams of becoming a doctor someday.

14 Kashmir Orphans Home In Kashmir: There are over 40,000 widows. Because of poverty, many widows are forced to give up their children to poorly run orphanages. These orphanages struggle to provide basic care to their children. 80% of the orphans drop out of education after High School. 14

15 There are over 600,000 orphans in Kashmir due to decades of war, most are living in extreme poverty. Kashmir is the forgotten disaster. Decades of war have left families devastated with thousands of children becoming destitute orphans. We want to give hope to these children by building a quality home, housing 150 orphans, that will help unleash the potential of generations of orphans. Together we can raise the standard of orphan care in this region. By contributing to this project you will empower future generations of orphans, producing confident individuals that can positively contribute to their society. Any contribution is greatly appreciated but you can also fund some of the targets below: Buy a brick 150 Construct a play area 1,000 Buy a share in the land 2,500 Construct a bedroom for 6 orphans 5,000 Construct a dining area 10,000 Construct a library 20,000 Construct an IT room 50,000 For further information on this ground breaking project please visit OrphansInNeed.org Donate now /OrphansInNeed.org
